Ingredients
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) to ensure even roasting.
- Toss the pumpkin seeds: In a bowl, combine the raw pumpkin seeds with olive oil and salt. Mix well to coat all seeds evenly.
- Spread on baking sheet: Arrange the coated pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased surface to prevent sticking.
- Roast the seeds: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure they roast evenly and become crunchy.
- Cool and serve: Once the pumpkin seeds are golden brown and crunchy, remove them from the oven. Let them cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- You can customize the seasoning by adding spices like paprika, garlic powder, or cinnamon for different flavors.
- Store cooled roasted pumpkin seeds in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Watch seeds closely towards the end of roasting time to avoid burning.
- If using pre-cleaned pumpkin seeds, rinse and dry them before tossing with oil and salt.
